MY FAVOURITE HIGH STREET STORE: WHERE & WHY

If you have followed my blog over the last year you will know by now that I am a huge lover of Zara. It is my favourite ‘go to’ high street store along with H&M, Mango, Next, M&S and Debenhams. I just love how Zara create affordable pieces straight from catlwak trends. Did you know Zara actually produce over 12,000 new items a year and it only takes 15 days for a handrawn sketch to appear in store, which for me [coming from a fashion degree background] is pretty incredible!

I also love how good the Zara prices are, you can pick up great quality jeans from £19.99 and dresses from £29.99. There are currently a lot of things I want in Zara after looking in the Cardiff store last week and having a browse online. However I am trying to be more careful in what pieces I purchase after having my wardrobe detox not so long ago. I only want to buy pieces that will be more versatile and only things I really will get the use out of.

Here I am wearing my latest Zara additions including this beautiful satin rose pleated skirt with this very intricate lace sheer top. I thought paired together they worked really well. The skirt I grabbed at a great price of £25.00 in the sale and I think the top was £19.99 which you can get in a few different colours and sleeveless options too.
